Christianity & Morality

This brings up the issue of how Christianity defines morality in the first place- what do Christian morals really look like? Is objective morality even moral, not taking the individuals situation into account and just handing out a blanket sentence of damnation for murder under any circumstance? Let’s take a look at what the church considers moral. First of all, if you are in a more conservative church, they believe homosexuality is a sin or amoral. Is this moral? To believe that an entire group of people are wrong for being who they are and need to repent and turn away from their lifestyle? Is it moral to expect women to be satisfied with a subservient, complementarianist role? Is the extreme lack of value that Christianity places of female individualness and independence healthy? Also, is it moral to expect people to refrain from sex outside of marriage when sex is a human need and not everyone gets married or gets married young? To control people’s bodies and shame them for wanting to have sex outside of marriage is not just and healthy. The main point is- is this healthy for the individual and for society? If it isn’t healthy, then it isn’t moral. Christianity is an amoral, backward religion.
